looking in the mirror
Wednesday, February 20th, 2008What’s a meta phor?
Sunday, October 7th, 2007David Warlick makes a metaphor… and I love it. He likens the way students approach their learning to the way they approach their food… to sustain them, fuel next steps perhaps? But, teachers wear the clothing of their learning. It defines them. I’d like to meditate on those images to […]
